What are children capable of learning at various stages in their development? How do children develop the intellectual skills to react and interact with their environment? How does these cognitive abilities develop and in what order? 1. Sensorimotor stage - Birth through to about 2 years: During this stage children learn about the world through their senses and the manipulation of objects. 2. Preoperational stage - Ages 2 through to 7 years: During this stage children develop memory and imagination. They are also able to understand things symbolically and to understand the ideas of past and future. 3. Concrete operational stage - Ages 7 through to 11 years: During this stage children become more aware of external events, as well as feelings other than their own. They become less egocentric and begin to understand that not everyone shares their thoughts, beliefs or feelings. 4. Formal operational stage - Ages 11 and older: During this stage children are able to use logic to solve problems, view the world around them and plan for the future. There is a few spotting development delays, even though babies develop at their own pace, every child should do certain tasks by certain ages. These tasks fall into 5 main categories: - Gross motor skills = such as crawling and walking - Fine motor skills = such as stacking blocks and colours - Language skills = Including speech and comprehension - Thinking skills - Social interaction They say that child development is very important for each and every child from a early age in their life, from birth to the age of 7 years is the best time to learn or teach a child. To teach older children in a classroom environment the following is there to help them: - Child development - Classroom development - The 5 types of skills - Receptive skills of reading and listening - Receptive skills of speaking and writing - Drilling method - Games and songs in classroom - Motivating a child There is the 5 Theories of Child Development - Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory: Key to the outcomes of the child stages as well as those afterward are the principles of social interaction and experience. - Bowlby’s Attachment Theory: Child development is based on the innate need of children to form attachments. These attachments may involve any number of people, places, or things and ultimately have a substantial effect on onward development patterns throughout life. - Freud’s Psychosexual Developmental Theory: Freud explained that child experiences, experienced at different ages in childhood, directly go on to dictate personality and behavior patterns in the later adult. - Bandura’s Social Learning Theory: This theory states that while much child learning and development does come from direct experience, much also comes from modeling and simple observations. - Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory: Children quite simply, think differently than adults. Experts in medicine and science have marveled for decades over the ways in which children develop. This fascinating area of study continues to yield many questions: “What affects child development?”, “At which ages is development most susceptible to external effects”, “What all can be done to maximize child growth and minimize detriments to it?”, and many more like these. In response to such questions, many theories have abounded. The following five child development theories are among some of the most expertly recognized and utilized today. By drilling the same things over and over, will help develop the brain. The right side of the brain is the creative side and coordinates the left side of the body. The left side of the brain performs tasks that have to do with logic, such as in science and mathematics, and controlling the right side of the body.
